That's the old issue of changing your username/email address. It's more to do with the single sign on functionality rather than the forum (it happened on the old forums too).

You will have contact the admin using otn_feedback@oracle.com giving them all the details of the two accounts (as you now have an old account with the points and a new account with no points). They should be able to sort it out for you.

After the forum upgrade, I saw that my points were not being reflected correctly, my username was correct though. The profile https://forums.oracle.com/people/Sujoy was there when I logged in after the upgrade.

Since, they mentioned that there were known issues with the user Id/username association which could be resolved by updating the profile, so I went ahead and tried the following:

Updated my profile without changing anything

>> This did not change anything

I changed my username from Sujoy to TestSujoy then back to Sujoy again.

>> Username changed as per the modifications, but username did not get associated with User Id

Though from my previous experience with account issues, I am not very optimistic about it.

Several months ago, I had changed my email address temporarily to my personal email account (since I was changing jobs). Later I changed it to my new office email.

But till today, Oracle keeps sending me mails about new products/training sessions etc on both email addresses. I highlighted this issue a couple of times and they came back saying that this was resolved, after which I just stopped bothering.

Thank you for the reply. I was thinking just a free-form text field where they would enter the version -- nothing to select because frankly, there are too many darn projects to choose from in Oracle and I would also just select the first thing that looks like it what I thought was right. I can definitely see your point on this one.

A required free-form text field (no drop-down listbox) would illicit a response and perhaps they would even get the version right -- and it being required, they would be reminded that they have to enter the version...

Oh no, it's definitely a train. Things are coming together. The behind the scenes process here is that P1 bugs get handled immediately and everything else gets handled in monthly or quarterly update windows. There are a whole bunch of things slated to be fixed July 12. At that point i think we'll have a better assessment of what's left to be done and we can prioritize the work appropriately.
